Excerpt from the Intro by Astrogirlzarro
"Deities of the Australian underground comics' scene, Steve Carter and Antoinette Rydyr, collaboratively known as SCAR, have delivered, yet again, an assault on the senses with their latest sci-fi/fantasy graphic novel Alien Eden.
"This chaotic descent into Darwinism is set in the violent world of Nemesis, a planet located in an intergalactic region known as Sargos Space. Nemesis is infested by an armoury of ugly savages, hybrid beasts and Amazonian tough tarts. In this race to the bottom, women are warriors, men are clueless and useless, and visitations from denizens of Planet Earth don't always end well (for Earthlings, that is).
"The 'beauty' of Alien Eden is that it comprises of eight individual comics with delightful titles like Wild Bush Pig Girls and Blood Bath of the Blood Bitches that can be read sequentially as chapters of one comprehensive graphic novel, or individually as stand-alone comics. Illustrations are detailed, occasionally explicit, but with tongue planted firmly in cheek (and other body parts). If you love being offended, then this is the graphic novel for you."
